Justifiable killing. So you're witnessing a murder, right in front of you in the pew at church during Easter service. Do you... 1) stand by and do nothing, let it play out.... 2) try to talk sense into the murderer 3) Stop the killing from happening 4) Call the police and let them shoot the murderer?

Asking for drone strikes is most comparable to #4. Except the police in this case is the Army.

So now you invoke the risen Lord? Pretty weak ... But that's ok because he is there you as well as me. Just have to ask Him

So should I ask him if he sanctions murder? Is that what you think your risen savior preached?

Destroying the drug cartels would be absolutely disastrous to the economy! Police depts all thru out the country rely on drug investigations, arrests, convictions, and the seizures that come with them, prisons rely on many people being people arrested and convicted for drug offenses too.

The banks would never allow it.

Not just yes, but HELL YES!


Those slugs are a clear and present danger to this country. Far more dangerous to our national security than a bunch of evil zealots 8,000 miles away.




See post below, I second that loudly!

That's why I vote to legalize drugs. Though it would do nothing to help our drug problem in the US. It would generate more tax revenue and move the money out of the cartels hands and into the Federal Cartel. There would be a shift in investment dollars out of the per profit prison systems and into more farming/logistics of the drug industries.

Not to mention the billions we would have available to start working on this debt issue.

If users want to kill themselves using, it's a free country. Let's enable the hell out of them.

At least the cartel slaughterhouses would come to an end.
Prison overcrowding would cease.
Schools would get funding.
The judicial system could free up for more immigration cases.

It's a win-win.

I guess if one supports drone strikes against Perdue Pharma and the 10's of thousands of docs and pharmacies that participate in illegal opiate spreading....that might be OK as it is on our own turf.

As to other countries...how did the Columbia thing (spraying weed) work out?

The Invisible Hand and Free Market...one wonders why "conservatives" don't like it? They praise it when it cuts down rainforest to create more fatty beef for them....but they don't like it when it serves a demand they have to escape the (lack of) a decent life they have crafted.....

Tom, can we drones these places???

https://www.citybeat.com/news/blog/2...id-prescribers

Coincidence, I guess..where they are located...

"The group works in Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia. Charges have also been filed in Pennsylvania and Louisiana"

Every single state voted for one guy.......

"The charges target 31 doctors, seven pharmacists and eight nurses among others who authorities say wrote more than 350,000 illegal prescriptions for more than 32 million pills — one for each person in the states in which ARPO operates, federal prosecutors said.

One of those charged, a Dayton doctor who authorities allege wrote prescriptions for more than 1.75 million pills over a two-year period, is the state’s top opioid prescriber, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio Benjamin Glassman said."

Please petition your reps for the death penalty for these people!

These coincidences keep piling up. Tom, do you have a way to explain this?
